drm/i915: Introduce a PV INFO page structure for Intel GVT-g.
Introduce a PV INFO structure, to facilitate the Intel GVT-g technology, which is a GPU virtualization solution with mediated pass-through. This page contains the shared information between i915 driver and the host emulator. For now, this structure utilizes an area of 4K bytes on HSW GPU's unused MMIO space. Future hardware will have the reserved window architecturally defined, and layout of the page will be added in future BSpec. The i915 driver load routine detects if it is running in a VM by reading the contents of this PV INFO page. Thereafter a flag, vgpu.active is set, and intel_vgpu_active() is used by checking this flag to conclude if GPU is virtualized with Intel GVT-g. By now, intel_vgpu_active() will return true, only when the driver is running as a guest in the Intel GVT-g enhanced environment on HSW platform. v2: take Chris' comments: - call the i915_check_vgpu() in intel_uncore_init() - sanitize i915_check_vgpu() by adding BUILD_BUG_ON() and debug info take Daniel's comments: - put the definition of PV INFO into a new header - i915_vgt_if.h other changes: - access mmio regs by readq/readw in i915_check_vgpu() v3: take Daniel's comments: - move the i915/vgt interfaces into a new i915_vgpu.c - update makefile - add kerneldoc to functions which are non-static - add a DOC: section describing some of the high-level design - update drm docbook other changes: - rename i915_vgt_if.h to i915_vgpu.h v4: take Tvrtko's comments: - fix a typo in commit message - add debug message when vgt version mismatches - rename low_gmadr/high_gmadr to mappable/non-mappable in PV INFO structure Signed-off-by: Yu Zhang <yu.c.zhang@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Jike Song <jike.song@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Eddie Dong <eddie.dong@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Tvrtko Ursulin <tvrtko.ursulin@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch>

+/**
+ * DOC: Intel GVT-g guest support
+ *
+ * Intel GVT-g is a graphics virtualization technology which shares the
+ * GPU among multiple virtual machines on a time-sharing basis. Each
+ * virtual machine is presented a virtual GPU (vGPU), which has equivalent
+ * features as the underlying physical GPU (pGPU), so i915 driver can run
+ * seamlessly in a virtual machine. This file provides vGPU specific
+ * optimizations when running in a virtual machine, to reduce the complexity
+ * of vGPU emulation and to improve the overall performance.
+ *
+ * A primary function introduced here is so-called "address space ballooning"
+ * technique. Intel GVT-g partitions global graphics memory among multiple VMs,
+ * so each VM can directly access a portion of the memory without hypervisor's
+ * intervention, e.g. filling textures or queuing commands. However with the
+ * partitioning an unmodified i915 driver would assume a smaller graphics
+ * memory starting from address ZERO, then requires vGPU emulation module to
+ * translate the graphics address between 'guest view' and 'host view', for
+ * all registers and command opcodes which contain a graphics memory address.
+ * To reduce the complexity, Intel GVT-g introduces "address space ballooning",
+ * by telling the exact partitioning knowledge to each guest i915 driver, which
+ * then reserves and prevents non-allocated portions from allocation. Thus vGPU
+ * emulation module only needs to scan and validate graphics addresses without
+ * complexity of address translation.
